A hardware that can receive and output audio.
An Interface (also known as “Audio interface”) is a piece of hardware that can receive audio as an input and also output audio. An interface helps a human interact with a computer or other electronics. A MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an example of an audio interface which connect audio inputs to your computer.
